• The city of Jerusalem lies on
the shores of which sea?
• Did Golda Meir love cockroaches?
• Why should you never go to the theatre
in Tiberias without an umbrella?
• And how do you make sure that your
daughter’s fiancé is not, heaven forbid,
like Marcel Proust?
The answers to these questions and many
others can be found in this book, which
includes twenty-two funny and heartwarming stories, awash with love and
longing for the people who raised one
skinny and cross-eyed Jerusalemite boy
to love poor-man’s food, to love proper
Hebrew and, especially, to love people.
